People are not happy about these Oasis mannequins

The photo was posted to Twitter - and, well, the legs do look a bit strange.

Many agreed that the mannequins were unrealistic.

But others thought the backlash to the ’skinny’ legs of the mannequin had a whiff of body-shaming

While others thought it was just a storm in a teacup.

A spokesperson for Oasis said that the mannequins were ’not intended to symbolise real people.

’Measuring over 6ft in height and without distinct facial features, our store mannequins are highly stylised to represent an artistic prop and are in no way any attempt to accurately portray true-to-life proportions’, a spokesperson said.

’Oasis is committed to understanding the concerns of our customers and understand the recent debates which have unfolded and therefore the business is in the process of reviewing new mannequins styles. ’
